The company issued new central AMD processors based on the architecture of Barcelona, and belonging to the family of microchips Phenom - range of the company immediately replenished three representatives: Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, X4 9350e and 9150e. The greatest public attention, of course, riveted to the “older” model Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, positioning as a solution to disperse computer enthusiasts, because these processors are not locked multiplier, which theoretically allows for better results to increase chip clock frequency.

We offer readers get acquainted with the characteristics of a brand new processors Phenom.

Specifications Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition:

  •      Manufacture of 65 - nm SOI;
  •      Number of transistors - 450 million;
  •      Nucleus area of 285 sq. km. mm;
  •      “Start” clock frequency of 2.6 GHz;
  •      Nominal operating voltage 1.05 - 1.3 Volt;
  •      Thermal package (TDP) 140 watts;
  •      Volume cache second level at 512 Kb kernel (total 2 Mb);
  •      Amount of cache memory 2 MB of level three;
  •      Support RAM DDR2 1066 MHz;
  •      System bus HyperTransport 3.0;
  •      Processor socket Socket AM2 +.

Specifications Phenom X4 9350e:

  •      Manufacture of 65 - nm SOI;
  •      Number of transistors - 450 million;
  •      Nucleus area of 285 sq. km. mm;
  •      Clock frequency of 2.0 GHz;
  •      Nominal operating voltage 1.00 - 1125 Volt;
  •      Thermal package (TDP) 65 watts;
  •      Volume cache second level at 512 Kb kernel (total 2 Mb);
  •      Amount of cache memory 2 MB of level three;
  •      Support RAM DDR2 1066 MHz;
  •      System bus HyperTransport 3.0;
  •      Processor socket Socket AM2 +.

Specifications Phenom X4 9150e:

  •      Manufacture of 65 - nm SOI;
  •      Number of transistors - 450 million;
  •      Nucleus area of 285 sq. km. mm;
  •      Clock frequency of 1.8 GHz;
  •      Nominal operating voltage 1.00 - 1125 Volt;
  •      Thermal package (TDP) 65 watts;
  •      Volume cache second level at 512 Kb kernel (total 2 Mb);
  •      Amount of cache memory 2 MB of level three;
  •      Support RAM DDR2 1066 MHz;
  •      System bus HyperTransport 3.0;
  •      Processor socket Socket AM2 +.

And if processors X4 9350e and 9150e do not raise much interest, that is the model Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition should great, and the main issue is about “booster” building. According to the first test test conducted by some “iron” network resources, chips successfully operate at a frequency of 3.1 GHz, in which case the staff used cooling system. Further dispersal leads to the “downs” system, but the situation, certainly, will be able to correct the installation of more efficient Cooling.
